Fox Entertainment CEO Rob Wade Lays Out New Structure, Future Plans and the Fate of Third-Party Shows Like ‘9-1-1: Lone Star’


A year and a half since Rob Wade took over as CEO of Fox Entertainment, he outlined his vision at the Banff World Media Festival.

On Monday at the Banff World Media Festival, Wade made his first extensive public comments about how it’s been going so far — and elaborated on any new acquisition plans he might have for the company, the fate of some of the third party shows still on his air (including “ 9-1-1: Lone Star ”) and the decision behind his recent corporate restructuring network, studio and distribution operations into their own divisions. Wade noted that now that he is across network, studio and distribution, he’s been looking at other parts of the business and unique financing models — including pacts with companies like Channel Four, Foxtel and Bell Media. Fox Entertainment has also lined up partnerships like Ramsay, Denis Leary, Dan Harmon, Jon Hamm, John Wells, Howard Gordon, Jamie Foxx, Marta Kauffman and Rob Lowe.
